The Moi Solo Gallery hosts the The Beauty of Order: Andromeda in Eros², a solo exhibit by Kathleen Ahner.

Developed much as a woven tapestry, the images and poetry of The Beauty of Order: Andromeda in Eros² marry as warp and weft of a single body. Neither an illustrated narrative poem nor a series of annotated etchings, the two forms marry as equal partners, ebbing and flowing, mysteriously forming a genetically distinct archetypal body; and as in any other marriage, subject to the themes of union common to us all: darkness, light, freedom, loss. The archetype of the human heart mirrors that of the cosmos: poem and print speak in one voice.

Kathleen Ahner grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, where she is a practicing poet and artist. She received her BA in English/Creative Writing, poetry, from Saint Louis University and her MA in Creative Writing/poetry from San Diego State University. She has taught high school and college level English and is currently taking classes toward a degree in fine arts. This is her first solo exhibit.
